#2 And the rotting away of the foundations of democracy continues -- the press rotting away the informed voters by misreporting or failing to report accurately, and voter fraud demolishing any fairness or honesty in the election results (which is a death knell to democracy).

#4 How it is that in Boston most of the precincts' turnouts are well above 100%?

Because no attention was paid to the voter registration rolls and the ballot boxes were STUFFED either electronically or with paper ballots !

When the legal uproar over voter ID's began and was upheld by courts, we knew the system would soon be failing. Meanwhile the United States Congress prepares to go on holiday. Forgive me, but I have reached the point of believing this entire process and series of events has been pre-designed and we are simply along for the ride.

#5 In the interim I think I ended understanding how it could be that turnout was over 100 percent. Peole who had not registered for the elctions and voted.

In other words people who were unknown to the voting census and weren't required to produce an ID. In other words people who could have already voted elsewhere, who could have been bussed from another state, who could not even have been citizens or who could not even exist.

What are the Republicans waiting to contest these results? Admittedly that would not make them win in Massachusetts but it would highlight the many shadowy events who happened in the Elmection and would open the way to an impeachment in 2016 (fotr now it is not possible since the Democrats control the Senate. Not unlees some santirail elections are unvalidated.

#10 I think it was Bright Pebbles trying to explain the UN-sanctioned(?) election observer process a month ago. And it was being argued against by the Republicans & Libertarians, who resented being treated like a banana republic (and because it seemed to be set up to focus on Republicans and ignore the endemic problems of the Democratic 'machines'.) It should be clear by now that Chavez et al have learned at the feet of the masters in the US cities, and that we could benefit from properly applied observers (though I have my doubts that such observers would/could be properly applied.)
